I believe that homebrewing really is a great foundation, even a basis of the American craft beer revolution, perhaps even a better foundation of knowledge than any out there. You can learn to appreciate the finesse that some brewers out there have, digest the nuances and importantly be really amazed by what is often percieved as a “simple” beer.
anyway, what prompted this blog post, was this excellent “homebrewed” video, an homage to the excellent “I am a Craft Brewer” film professionally produced by Greg Koch of Stone Brewing.
Watch it here, the homebrew’d version, and excellent work it is too!

Yeah, I was really hoping Greg Koch would see/like/RT it. Does anyone know how to email Charlie Papazian? I didn't see any contact info on his Examiner site.

I put it on Twitter and Facebook and will write up a post for Beer-O-Vision either tonight or tomorrow (BOV is changing servers so it's kind of wonky right now). I hope this gets the endless adulation that it deserves!
